Home Products Plasma Shields Plasma Shields Consumables for plasma and laser cutting. Contact Us Contact Luvata Welshpool has been producing plasma shields and components for plasma and laser cutting for many years. Our team of engineers has a deep understanding of how materials behave under intense heat, and our manufacturing facility has the latest technology for cold forming and machining components used in plasma and laser cutting and welding. Applications Plasma cutting Laser cutting Welding Plasma Shields from OFHC Copper Copper is ideal for many of the components in plasma shield assemblies because of its thermal and electrical conductivity. OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper is a particularly high purity grade of copper that is ideal for cold forming. Cold forming OFHC copper is often the first choice for plasma shield components because it provides the best quality copper manufactured in the most efficient and effective way. Advantages of using OFHC copper for plasma shield components High electrical and thermal conductivity Corrosion and oxidation resistant Reliable performance Compatible with other materials such as steel and ceramic Can be cold-formed into complex shapes for precision Compatible thermal expansion to other metals It has a consistent grain structure which gives strength, stability, excellent conductivity and predictable performance Stability under extreme temperatures Our Typical Plasma Shields Components Plasma electrodes Laser nozzles Plasma shields or nozzles Laser mirror blanks Luvata Welshpool manufactures these consumables from copper or copper alloys using cold forming to reduce costs by saving time and materials. We work with trusted partners to add plating where required. Manufacturing Locations Europe Welshpool, UK Advantages of Cold Forming Plasma and Laser Consumables Cold forming is a proven engineering process that is ideal for the precision manufacture of high-quality parts in large volumes. In particular cold forming can: Significantly reduce raw material use and waste Offer fast manufacturing speeds Reduce time to market Eliminate secondary production operations Produce total cost reductions of up to 70% Create complex shapes to tight tolerances Ensure high mechanical strength (hardening copper while maintaining grain structures) Related Industries Automotive Welding read more Our specialists are just an email away!
